Moving on: Simon Amstell

When the cash starts rolling in, what does any up-and-coming comedian do? Buy a plush new home in Hampstead, north London, of course. Russell Brand recently spent £2m doing just that, and now he is joined by Simon Amstell, the fearlessly sarky presenter of Never Mind the Buzzcocks who used to terrify popstars with his leftfield questions on the Saturday morning television show Popworld. Amstell has treated himself to a top-floor three-bedroom flat in a period conversion, spending an estimated £1.5m through estate agency Benham & Reeves.
